Fiction | Historical
Set in turn of the century Japan in the world of the Noh
theater, and in Paris during the heady days when French
Impressionism was the avant-garde, this heartbreaking,
beautifully written novel tells of a young Japanese artist
who sacrifices everything: family, love and wealth for his art. A Master Noh mask carver dedicates his life to his art,
turning his back on love after a series of tragic events
leaves him devastated. Kiyoki, his only son, defies his
father and the demands of cultural tradition to follow his
dream of becoming a painter in the western style. Kiyoki
journeys to Paris, where he lives the life of an exile,
unable to break the bonds of tradition, until he finds his
heart leads him back to Japan, where he at last discovers
himself as an artist.
